    Thumbs down TRU Green Legends Devastator IS on sale

    ToysRUs seems to have an understaffed customer service, as it took since Friday to get through.

    I finally got onto someone today about the Legends Devastator in their current catalogue.

    Now, according to their computer system, the Devastator set is supposed to retail for $80, but came into stores on sale at $60. So with the catalogue saying $70, the set is still discounted by $10, and is likely to go up to $80 after the catalogue ends on 26th October.

    Makes them even more scalperish than usual... The Target version is $40, half the price.
    (and with the current exchange rate, it'd be a lot cheaper to import - the US retail is about US$33/AU$35)

    not the first time they have done something like this...

    kinda sickening that it may cost 80 to buy.

    Target's is $49, $39.20 if you get it on sale.

    And if you didn't already know, I've got one more superior TakaraTomy one on sale for $39!

    Is there a difference between the Target version and the TRU version?

    The $50 Jazz was likely to be an error on the part of who ever entered them into the HQ computer, thinking that both Jazz and Starscream (released at the same time, with similar descriptions to their names) were probably part of the same assortment.

    If it was intentional, the Starscream would have been overpriced to a similar extent as well.
